Migration Phenomenon Beyond the United States

There are immigration trends throughout the Americas beyond the immigration of Mexicans to the United States.

According to a study* conducted by the Multilateral Investment Fund (MIF), "there are now significant communities of Bolivian migrants in Argentina, Nicaraguan migrants in Costa Rica, Guatemalans in Mexico, Peruvians in Chile, and Haitians in the Dominican Republic."

The MIF was formed to fund projects that stimulate the economies of Latin America and the Caribbean. There are numerous transactional opportunities beyond the United States/Mexico market.
